Because the chat with Petunia and her daughter took a little longer, the people behind seemed a little dissatisfied. Locke could only hand them the signed books, encourage Petunia a few more words, and then motioned to the people in line behind to come up. forward.

At nightfall, the Writers' Association is also held at this time.

"These writers are so free. I heard that Random House often prepares such parties?" Ashley held Locke's hand.

"It's about making connections." Locke chuckled softly: "Everyone gets together to brag, carry guns, and become writers. As long as they have some fame, long-term income is guaranteed.

After making money, the motivation for writing naturally decreases a lot. It usually takes several years to publish a book, and there is very little time spent on actual writing. To the outside world, the rest of the time is spent looking for inspiration, collecting materials, and conceiving plots. In fact, this thing of inspiration... haha! "

"Of course I know this." Ashley gave Locke a knowing look: "The artist's muse, only a goddess can give you enough inspiration. A goddess and a work are just like you, making money. , isn’t it just a wave?”

"Why are you suddenly talking about me? Aren't you talking about other people?" Locke coughed slightly, a little speechless, and changed the subject: "By the way, do you have any ideas about going out to sea for fun?"

"Going to sea for fun?!" Ashley asked: "Has the yacht you ordered delivered? I remember you said it won't be until next year."

"Someone gave me two tickets and invited me to watch a show." Locke said and took out two beautifully designed tickets: "Argo Cruise Ship, luxurious 75-degree sea view private room, summer maiden voyage around the Pacific !”

"Luxury cruise ship, Pacific Rim? It's not a bad idea to go there. I haven't been to the sea yet, are we just the two of us?" Ashley had some expectations.

"Peggy is going back to Texas. Tang Wei has just graduated and is going back to Dongguo to visit relatives. She won't be traveling with us, but the cruise ship will pass by Xiangjiang over there. When we get there, we will get off the ship and go to Dongguo. In fact, I have been We really want to go to Dongguo to see it, and after Peggy finishes her business in Texas, she will come directly to join us."

Locke's idea of ​​going to the East Kingdom was not a whim. He had already had this idea. Although they were in two different worlds and their identities had been changed, it would be a good idea to go and invest there.

Anyway, these years are the time to attract investment there. You can invest a sum of money to set up an investment company. In these years, as long as you are not fooled by scammers, you have a high chance of making money by investing randomly.

As for the ticket for this luxury cruise ship, it was sent by Lorraine. In fact, he invited Locke to watch her complete her revenge.

The Argonaut is known as the most luxurious cruise ship in the world. Most of the passengers on this maiden voyage are wealthy people, at least worth tens of millions.

Carlot Youying, who originally sent people to capture Lorraine in Brazil, also participated in the maiden voyage of the cruise ship, and Lorraine decided to kill him on the cruise ship.

Locke was invited to witness it, but Lorraine still remembered how embarrassed he was when he was rescued by Locke, so he wanted to prove to Locke that it was just an accident.

Ashley didn't know Lorraine, so Locke didn't say anything about it, but Ashley knew that Locke had always been fond of Dongguo culture. There were many original Chinese books in the study, and he had said more than once that he would like them if he had the chance. Going there, I didn’t expect it to happen suddenly.

"It seems that you have already planned it." Ashley said, "Why do you ask me if this is the case?"

"Everything has come together." Locke knew something was not going well, so he quickly made up for it: "I just received the ticket during my lunch break, so I came up with this temporary plan and was planning to discuss it with you."

Ashley thought that at noon, a courier boy did deliver a package without a mailing address to Locke. It seemed that it should be these two tickets.

She was originally just a little unhappy because Locke made a decision directly without consulting her, but now she didn't care after hearing the explanation. Locke said a few more nice words, and the two of them soon started laughing.

"Locke!" At this moment, a voice came, and Locke raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Miss Amy." Locke nodded to each other, put his arm around Ashley's waist, and said, "I didn't expect you to come to this party. This is my girlfriend Ashley, Ashley, this The name is Amazing Amy."

"Hello." Amazing Amy's smile appeared a little unnatural. She looked at Ashley, who was slightly shorter than herself but had an extremely perfect figure, and frowned unconsciously.

Locke had met Amazing Amy at a writer's party in New York before. At that time, Locke was in a wanton state of mind. Not to mention girls like Rachel, MAX, and Caroline, there were also girls like Catherine Chumey, Dr. Elizabeth, Ms. Mana gave it a try, so there was no reason to miss Amazing Amy. The two had a brief one-night friendship.

"I have admired you for a long time!" Ashley smiled and stretched out her hand to shake hands with Amazing Amy.

Ashley was also obsessed with Amazing Amy for a while when she was a child, but as her knowledge grew, she gradually lost that mentality, especially when a woman's intuition told her that Amazing Amy in front of her was plotting against Locke. Made her more vigilant.

"You held a book signing in Boston without telling me in advance so that I could fulfill my duties as a landlord." Amy quickly turned to Locke.

"Everything has been arranged by the publisher, so there is no need to bother." Locke smiled and said, "How are you doing lately?"

"Just like that, I also met a scumbag who wanted to take revenge on me." Amazing Amy rolled her eyes and became a little pitiful: "But New York is a good place. My parents have been discussing settling in New York recently. I think it’s not bad, maybe we can see each other more often.”

"I've heard about this. That person seems to be your ex-boyfriend, but his aesthetics are different from Locke's."

Seeing that the woman in front of her actually dared to seduce Locke in front of her, Ashley was not someone to be trifled with, so she straightened her chest out. But it's against A. Although she is not a MAX, she can still be crushed to death.

Amazing Amy glanced at Ashley with an extremely cold look, which made Ashley frown, feeling that there was something wrong with the woman in front of her.

"Can we talk alone?" Seeing that Ashley was not frightened, Amazing Amy did not continue, but extended an invitation to Locke.

"That's fine."

Locke had no intention of continuing with the other party. Because of the other party's fame and the exciting feeling before, plus it was a period of high-spirited and wanton behavior, he couldn't help but give it a try.

Now that his mentality is different, he naturally has no interest in a dangerous woman, just like he is now keeping quiet and slowly alienating Catherine Chumei and Dr. Elizabeth.

The magical Amy in front of her wants to hit the ball straight at this time, and Locke will stop going around in circles with her opponent. As for some of the small tricks she used without being willing to do so, are they still a problem for Locke now? He has too many ways to deal with it. .
